I've come to terms with the fact that This game is shit I pull, but you pull way harder I'm done with it Here is the fact of the matter All you do is moan The secret to getting older Is to work alone They try to tell me off but I sure don't listen I'm doing all that I can but I only just function Your two cents are worth so much less than that Your fast talking back tracking bullshit Can mine barely match They stand for all of the things that I really hate The pretentious boy with his whiskey And nothing to create So tell me all of your problems, No guarentees You dug this pit that you live in Don't cry to me You manufacture your problems, do you get a thrill I place my sorrows in bottles, yours leave with pills They try to tell me off but I sure don't listen I'm doing all that I can but I only just function Your two cents are worth so much less than that Your fast talking back tracking bullshit Can mine barely match Reality slips, but I don't fall Memories fade on the floor you crawl Mouths move but I can't hear sound My confidence is buried in the shaking ground Cold hands flutter with a lack of drive, must keep moving if I want to survive All of my thoughts sharpen in the quiet alone There's a place I miss but it isn't home These people they are all the same the only things they say come from the way they were raised If talk is cheap, then it's lucky I'm poor But at least I've got something to live for I cuss too much and I drink the same Why do you care it's what keeps me sane I try too hard and I care too much All my efforts get me is a friendly slut

Hot Mess 02:08
Watch that girl, Her smart mouth She'll get up And leave town A facade of true love When she's down and out of luck She can pry with her cold eyes Spins a web of tangled lies Watch your back and bite your tongue It's only over when she's done, done, done I know that she's a mess, don't know what happened there All I know is that I love her and she's got me ensnared They say that you can't pick who you love and it's true And with every day that passes I just get more confused She picks me back up just to throw me aside But when midnight strikes the clock she really knows how to ride I want to tell you off But your pretty little smile makes my brain go soft I'm a phone call away when you're sad and blue I'm just a sad little girl when it comes to you Watch that girl, her smart mouth She'll get up and leave town A facade of true love When she's down and out of luck

I made this bed, still I cannot sleep I count mistakes instead of counting sheep Can't decide where we lost our way Your new girl, bet she talks real sweet But she'll never know the real story My smile grows wide when I see your pain If actions speak louder than words then yours scream Finally know you never cared about me You took all I had and made it yours But everyone knows you're an attention whore So just get out, take your bullshit with The last thing I need is another bitch Lock me up throw away the key Oh what the hell did you do to me Call me cold, but I feel so warm Guess I've gone soft, my heart transformed Admit it, I created you You're just a product of what I can do All of your thoughts, your fears, your politics Have my fucking name written over it Take these words say them like a prayer As you scratch your way out of cold despair Watch your back as you walk away, you tell me wait for you, but I'd rather play If actions speak louder than words then yours scream Finally know you never cared about me You took all I had and made it yours But everyone knows you're an attention whore So just get out, take your bullshit with The last thing I need is another bitch I'll see you in hell Lock me up throw away the key Oh what the hell did you do to me Call me cold, but I feel so warm Guess I've gone soft, my heart transformed Admit it, I created you You're just a product of what I can do All of your thoughts, your fears, your politics Have my fucking name written over it Take these words say them like a prayer As you scratch your way out of cold despair Watch your back as you walk away, you tell me wait for you, but I'd rather play Most people fuck you over, then just fade away But what can you do besides just move on I learned it the hard way, but what do I care Isn't that shit supposed to make you strong Though my outlook on life has gotten pretty dark I'll use you and bail before I get too deep But don't take offense when I tell you straight up it's a problem with you, not a problem with me

Locomotion 03:03
The capital of this state of affairs is the word derailed The tracks are narrow, stakes are high you drive without care Dirty windows look out across a wall of trees Just keep chugging along Pull the gravel out of your knees The arbitrary nature of this romance is shown in clouds of smoke The choices few just freight and coal an expiration Just a joke Lets get shallow, a narcissistic dream Move too quickly along, I'll say some things that I don't mean I tried so hard to make this work but I guess that I didn't know The only one you'll ever love is in the mirror when you're alone But you pull my heart strings as I try to to gasp for air Beg you quietly but your cold eyes don't care Conducted me down the wrong path Smeared me all across the train tracks This is wrong

I could write a song about all the ways that I doubt every word you say I could write a song about it But you won't even hear it I could tell all of my friends all about The hell that were your tantrums Or better yet, I could tell them your deepest darkest secrets I'll be better off being on my own Than being in your arms but feeling so alone Should've listened to my brain but my heart was too loud Usually know better but I let myself down So just go Oh please just go I could write a song that's all about how you were the biggest let down What's the fun In loving someone that's zipped inside their baggage I could cry about the fact that everyone word was a lie But really fuck that You must be exhausted from living like you're the only one alive I'll be better off being on my own Than being in your arms but feeling so alone Should've listened to my brain but my heart was too loud Usually know better but I let myself down So just go Oh please just go I always kept you so close Even when it was I that needed you the most I tried to show you some light because you only see dark Your love was like a black eye it really left a mark So you stay there, guess I see the door now Knew I should, guess I didn't know how Hope my feet take me in a better direction Hope I made it onto the path to perfection Why can't you be The boy I thought you were Why can't you see That I felt so sure I'll be better off being on my own Than being in your arms but feeling so alone Should've listened to my brain but my heart was too loud Usually know better but I let myself down So just go Oh please just go
